I am a patriot

When I stopped today and thought about it, I love my country more than I will readily admit. After living so much of my life under the tyranny of rulers not of my choice, I had become discontent and bitter, yearning to breath free in an enviornment of oppression and greed. Then came the election of Barack Obama and hopefulness replaced the hopelessness that I had felt for so long.

So as we approach the anniversary of the darkest day in US history, I embrace my country. And I will sing Little Steven's lyrics "I am a patriot and I love my country..." in remembrance of those lost and those still in harm's way. God bless America.
